State

The Remainder Theorem states that dividing a polynomial f(x) by x − k leaves the remainder f(k).

Show

For f(x) = x³ − 3x + 2 divided by x − 2: f(2) = 8 − 6 + 2 = 4, so the remainder is 4 before any division runs — evaluation and division, one number.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
